    How to Do a Clean Install of Windows 10 Home - Viruses et al.


    A clean install wipes everything and reinstalls Windows 10 as new. Unfortunately, there are types of malware that stay present on your system even after a clean install.
    For example with the security vulnerabilities in the Intel Management Engine, Intel Server Platform Service and Intel Trusted Execution Engine.
    The Intel Management Engine, for example, has a separate processor that allows access to the CPU. Access to the ME is possible even when the CPU itself is off due to the separate processor When malware can access it, there is complete control over the system. A clean install or BIOS update won't resolve this infection.

    Hi Axe,

    This may truly be the problem. The system was extremely buggie and not running properly prior to the clean install.

    My system was attacked by ransomware, key logger programme and other viruses. I've made sure my computer chap understands this as well.

    Thanks again for everyone's help, suggestions, etc.

    Cheers, S*Smile*Smile*Smile*Smile*Smile*Smile

    Hi All,

    It was my hard drive on my computer that needed replacing. Took some time with Christmas holidays, cold/flu, etc.

    Thank again for your help,
